Hi All,

As you know, Bean is scheduled to come home this Saturday.  But as with all
things in this drama there are complications.

Insurance to pay for Bean's stay at Almaden has been exhausted and not been
extended by Kaiser.  Currently, the family is paying this. 
Kaiser has declined to pay for items to begin home care, listing these
things such as defibulators as 'comfort' items '.

Now the kicker......they will not release Bean, from a hospital they aren't
paying for, unless the 'comfort items' they won't provide for, are in place.

Negotiations are ongoing.  Please stay tuned for further updates from the
theater of the absurd.

Joe
